spam ugh

Is there any way we can permanently block that MI5 person? Blech. Sure
takes up a lot of space here.

Killfile or message filters, then unsub, delete the group history and
resubscribe.

ummm, could you please repeat that in English? LOL. Where do I find a
message filter for a group? You don't mean for my regular email, do
you?

I think that it mostly happens to those of us who use Google. I hate
it,
too.

Or an unfiltered newsserver. I use 2 of them. MI5 is not showing up on
one of them which is filtered for stuff like that, he is on the other.

Nope, I get it too through my Outlook Express. One of these
days I'll get around to filtering it, otherwise, I just mark it
"read" and it goes away. I don't read that crap.

if you read through Google, you can't do anything about M15
(who, BTW, has lost access again temporarily) or any other
spam.
you need a newsreader & an NNTP (usenet news) provider to use
filters. i do highly recommend it, as it makes usenet so much
more useful.
if your internet provider doesn't offer news, there are free
or low-cost ones you can access worldwide. if you use Windows,
there's a newsreader built into Outlook Express.

Verizon had nothing to do with it. M15 lost yet another
account for spamming. with him, it really does help to report
the abuse to his provider.
that generally doesn't work for other spam, as they
specificly go to providers that don't care if they spam as
long as they pay.

Thank you! what do I put at the point where it says: Type the name of
the Internet news (NNTP) server your Internet service provider has
given you... I dont know what that means. This is one field that I
have always shied away from, so I REALLY need help to understand how
to do this! Thanks for your patience.

well what company do you connect to the internet through? you
will probably need to look at their customer service site or
give them a call to get the exact server, but usually it's
something like "news.ispname.com" or "nntp.ispname.net".
some isps require a login & password (usually the same as
your email if they do), but most don't unless you're
connecting from outside their system (i post through mv, for
example, but connect through metrocast, so i have a login &
password for the mv newsserver)
